One thing is certain—Lysertis has grand plans, for Adam and for the entire world. Intrigue, betrayal, manipulation—nothing is beneath him when it comes to achieving his goals.

"Mana to breathe, mana to eat, mana to fucking live," Inhale: -0.001 MP… oops! You're out of mana points. (Pay-to-breathe RPG.) Humanity's last walled stronghold. _____ In the world Elio lives, every gasp of air comes at a price. A floating indestructible book for every human, a magical system that turns survival into a pay-to-breathe RPG. Here, poverty isn't just being broke, it's choking. Surrounded by barren land and a sea of monsters on top of it (No water, just literal monsters), each day is a suffocating dance of survival, a balancing act between mana for air and mana for food. In this economy, holding your breath isn't just a game, it's a retirement plan. Driven by desperation (and the city's miserly rulers that don’t cut anyone a break), Elio dives into the Book System’s trials to save his family. Along the way, he unlocks powers he didn’t ask for and starts to figure out... Who he really is. Immerse yourself in an adventure where one young man's stubborn refusal to become a statistic could spark a revolution. Who knew being a pain in the system's rear could change the world? Because in Elio's world, breathing is just the beginning of the revolution and... he's gasping for change. But hey, who said saving the world had to be all doom and gloom? Join Elio as he kicks monster butt, uncovers ancient secrets, and maybe, just maybe, figures out how to grow a tree or two along the way. __________ Warning: May contain traces of world domination, an unhealthy obsession with the periodic table, damage points, progression math, and yes, even a sprinkle of that old "power of friendship" magic. Because sometimes, you need a buddy to help you remember which element does what or even help you calculate those sweet, sweet stats. A quick heads-up: Despite what the cover might suggest, this isn’t a hack-and-slash adventure. Think more along the lines of a turn-based RPG, where strategy and choices matter as much as action. Get ready for a different kind of challenge! If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's our first FL crying and crossing the transparent barrier straight into a pixelated, indistinguishable sea of monsters. Because why not mix emotions with chaos? She's crazy like that! (Not really... or is she?) Discord to check the visuals: https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 I’m still working on it in the little moments I find between writing, editing, making more character images, etc. Little by little, we’ll have a Poked... uh, a full SummonDex! Meanwhile, you can check out the ones on Fandom with their... funny descriptions? Or at least I hope so... orz __________ Happy New Year! I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your incredible support. This journey wouldn’t be the same without each of you, and I’m beyond thankful to have you here. May this new year bring you joy, success, and all the things you’re hoping for. Here’s to a brighter future! Thank you for being part of this story. Cheers to 2025! Thank you so much for reading!

When creatures thought to be mythical suddenly begin an assault on Earth, the world's nations band together to devise a plan to counter them. Some share information on building powerful weapons, while others provide manpower. Unfortunately, humanity does not stand a chance against an enemy that has been hiding since ancient times. Driven into a corner, humans retreated into Undercity, the last stronghold of the human race. Due to its location in a large underground cavern, Undercity has managed to avoid destruction. Here, civilians can live fairly normal lives, and some have forgotten about the war. A group of scholars devised a method to mimic the abilities of mythical creatures, but learning to use them effectively and safely proved difficult, so they locked away all their research. Theo has only his mother left and is terrified of losing her. Desperate to protect her, he dedicates all his free time to researching the scholars who founded Undercity, hoping to unearth the secrets they left behind. One day, he finds an old rusty dagger hidden in the hollowed-out hollowed-out pages of an encyclopedia printed before the start of the war. This dagger held many secrets, and Theo lost his head while decyphering them. "It's time to go for a midnight walk." "Reap a soul within 4 hours." "Where's your head?"

Slowly, Leonis starts harboring an unhealthy obsession for Kiva. Kiva would do any and everything to put a knife in the heart of Leonis, or die doing so. But Leonis doesn't plan on letting death take her. At least not yet. *** Excerpt Holding both my hands tightly together behind me with just one of his own, Leonis pressed his broad chest upon my back as I wriggled and try to get out of his stronghold. A gesture I knew was futile because he was strong, very strong. "Run if you like." His whisper sounded next to my left ear, and I wished to deny it, I wished to tell myself I don't feel it, but I do. I feel a certain tingle every time this demon is this close to me. "I will pursue you. Hide if you must, I shall find you, and die if you choose, I shall make death cough your soul back into your cold body." I knew it. He will never let me go.

Imagine this: I’m Li Wei, heir to one of China’s most powerful families. Wealth? Check. Power? Check. Perfect girlfriend? Check. Life is great, right? Yeah, until the world decides to throw a massive tantrum and end it all. One minute, I’m planning to propose to the love of my life, and the next? Apocalypse. Earthquakes, tornadoes, and then—zombies. Because, of course. Oh, and did I mention my so-called friends and girlfriend betrayed me? Yeah, they threw me to the zombies while they zoomed away in their shiny car. Thanks a lot, guys. You’d think that’s where the story ends, but nope. Plot twist: I wake up two weeks before the apocalypse with all the knowledge of what’s coming. Now I get a second chance to not be an idiot. But here’s where it gets even weirder. There’s this soldier who tried to save me right before the world fell apart. He died. I died. Everyone died. But I’m back—so is he, sort of. He’s like this half-human, half-zombie thing, and, surprise surprise, he’s here to help me survive and get revenge. Oh, and did I mention I’ve got these awesome thunder powers?

So now, not only do I have to survive the apocalypse, but I also have to raise these two adorable yet totally creepy twins who somehow popped into my life. They’ve got their own weird powers too.

The apocalypse. Betrayal. Zombies. Robots. And a very dysfunctional family. What’s not to love?

Weak, Useless, Stupid. Those were the names she was called in her past life… but it would never happen in this life. When apocalypse descended, earth was in chaos. The arrival of the red rain turned humans into mindless monsters called zombies. Strongholds began to develop and the human community turned lawless. Humans developed powers while the zombies grew stronger. It was kill it or to be killed. The strong trampled on the weak and the weak were useless. Being weak was a crime. Gu Ning thought she would live her life just fine even though she was weak. She lived in a Stronghold ruled by her comrades and she often followed her best friend to complete missions. She thought she would live like that forever. Oh how wrong she was. She got killed by her best friend over a level 3 zombie nucleus. It was just a level 3 nucleus, how could her overpowered bestie want to use that? Filled with spite, she swore to the heavens to get her revenge, then it happened. She was reborn, two weeks before the red rain, two weeks before the apocalypse. She was reborn with a system…the rebirth system. Armed with knowledge about the future, she decides to be the strongest woman to live. Weak and frail? She was going to kill them all including that devious fox, Xue Lu.

Centuries ago, an unknown power was released into the world. The power spread across many different worlds forever altering the course of humanity. This cataclysm triggered widespread mutations among populations of living things, endowing some with extraordinary abilities. Amidst the ensuing chaos, six individuals emerged, each possessing unparalleled strength and earning the title of "Gods." These formidable beings were assigned unique domains—strongholds where other mutants could challenge them for their divine titles. To slay a God was to ascend in their place, and the victor would be granted a domain of their own. Years past since and only 3 of the original Gods have never known defeat while the other 3 god titles kept on changing throughout the years. The world remains a fractured and perilous place, dominated by these divine figures and their fiercely contested realms.

The next day I woke up, I am now the fiancé of the Duke of Dubois Castle, or known as Lemon. “I am a demon who lives by desire and greed, you have yielded with the contract that you have exchanged with your life?” “Then what do you want?” “I want the whole of you Veta Le Blanchet, not just your blood, heart and soul, it is the whole of you.” Theroux Claude, the third prince of the kingdom. “Lady Le Blanchet, just how can you stand still this demon duke? If you ever get tired of him, you are always welcome to my palace.” Another troublesome man, my childhood friend when I was at the academy, Durand Gagnon. “I have attained this nickname not just because I follow all his Majesty’s order, but because I want to have a stronghold in the knight position so that I can support you my Lady, remember that my oath is only for you.” Then, what is my cousin thinking that he would say such things? “Sister, I have finally inherited the title of the Baron, please come back to our fief, and I will make sure to bring back the glory of our family!” As I try to relinquish the past, the more troublesome it becomes. Is clinging to the tiny bit of my life a wrong choice? And why is the temple spying on me? “Lady Le Blanchet is the only descendant of the family, you shouldn’t involve yourself farther with the Demon Duke.” “It’s done my Lady, as long as it is you, I can give everything, even if I destroy this Kingdom.” Hold on, just what on earth this demon wants from me?

In the heart of Central Asia, where empires rise and fall like the shifting sands, a warrior emerges who will shape history with his sword, his strategy, and his unwavering faith. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni—a name that would echo across centuries as both a conqueror and a patron of culture—sets out on a relentless campaign to expand his empire, challenge the mightiest rulers, and carve his place among history’s greatest kings. Mahmud, the eldest son of Sabuktigin, inherits not just his father’s kingdom but also his unyielding ambition. Born into the rugged lands of Ghazni, he learns early that power is not given; it is seized through blood, battle, and sheer will. But with great power comes great enemies—both within his court and beyond the frontiers of his realm. The story of The Iron Falcon is one of war, betrayal, loyalty, and a vision greater than one man’s thirst for conquest. The Rise of a Conqueror From the moment Mahmud ascends the throne, he faces opposition from his own family. His brother, Ismail, backed by courtly conspirators, attempts to claim the crown, igniting a bitter power struggle. But Mahmud is no ordinary ruler—his mind is as sharp as his sword. Through clever alliances and ruthless military tactics, he secures his place as the unchallenged Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire. Yet, this victory is merely the beginning. Determined to extend his dominion, Mahmud sets his eyes on the rich lands of India, where the Hindu Shahi kings rule with immense wealth and influence. His ambition is not just territorial; he believes he has a divine mission—to spread the glory of his empire, establish Islamic governance, and secure untold treasures to strengthen his rule. The Battles That Shaped an Empire With his most trusted general, Malik Ayaz, at his side, Mahmud launches a series of daring military campaigns. His army, a formidable force of cavalry, archers, and fearless warriors, storms the strongholds of Northern India, clashing with the legendary Raja Jayapala in the Battle of Peshawar (1001 AD). The fierce resistance of the Hindu Shahi kings tests Mahmud’s strength, but his brilliant tactics and relentless pursuit of victory prove overwhelming. Yet, conquest is never simple. As Mahmud advances deeper into the subcontinent, he encounters the resilience of Raja Anandapala, who unites rival kings in a desperate bid to repel the Ghaznavid forces. The ensuing battles are fierce, with betrayals, shifting alliances, and moments of brutal warfare that define the era. Through it all, Mahmud remains steadfast—an iron falcon soaring above the battlefield, always striking with precision and power. Betrayal, Glory, and the Clash of Civilizations While Mahmud’s sword carves empires, his mind thirsts for knowledge. Unlike mere warlords, he is a patron of scholars, poets, and architects. He invites the brilliant Al-Biruni, a polymath whose wisdom transcends borders, to document the vast lands and cultures Mahmud encounters. The Persian poet Firdawsi, author of the Shahnameh, also graces his court, though their relationship takes a dark turn when Mahmud, consumed by his ambitions, fails to appreciate the poet’s genius. But amidst the grandeur of conquest and culture, danger lurks within Mahmud’s own court. His trusted advisors whisper of betrayals, his allies waver, and the political games of viziers and rival warlords threaten to destabilize his empire. Even those closest to him—loyal generals and royal confidants—begin to question the weight of his relentless campaigns. One of the most defining moments of Mahmud’s reign comes with the legendary attack on Somnath (1025 AD). The opulent temple, known for its immense wealth and religious significance, becomes the ultimate prize. To some, Mahmud is a liberator; to others, he is a plunderer. The battle for Somnath becomes not just a military conquest but a clash of civilizations, where faith, power, and destiny collide. The Legacy of the Iron Falcon

Any characters, storyline, and historical remarks are fictional in this novel and thank you for reading! Here is the STORY TRAILER for this novel that I made on my own time! ^^ LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft-5MYk7YWA&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR27to2S-h_poYKpM8-61QtvDROpwJNWmPCrG6Hq6GZAgw8dQu3jzilm6vY

In a world ravaged by civil war, humanity teetered on the brink of collapse. The conflict was fueled by the fact that humans possessed extraordinary abilities, which they wielded against one another in a desperate bid for dominance. As the chaos escalated, the Hoshino family, driven by a desire to restore peace and balance to the world, took drastic measures. They created a virus, one that, when inhaled, would suppress the special powers that had become the root of the conflict. The virus, a potent tool in the quest for tranquility, was disseminated globally, its effects felt by all who breathed it in. To ensure that humanity remained in check, the Hoshino family periodically released the virus, maintaining a delicate equilibrium. However, there was a caveat: the Hoshino family themselves were immune to the virus's effects, possessing a unique resistance that set them apart from the rest of humanity. This immunity granted the Hoshino family unparalleled power and control, allowing them to shape the world according to their vision. As the sole guardians of the virus, they held the fate of humanity in their hands, dictating the course of history and maintaining the fragile peace that had been forged. Generations passed, and the Oshino family's grip on the world only tightened. They ruled with an iron fist, crushing any opposition and maintaining control through brutal force. But their power went beyond mere physical dominance - they had also developed the ability to manipulate the minds of people, erasing memories and altering perceptions to suit their own agenda. The world was a dystopian nightmare, with the Hoshino family pulling the strings from behind the scenes. But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged. A young man named Kaito, along with his loyal companion, a dog from the slums, rose up to challenge the Hoshino family's stranglehold on the world. They were joined by a motley crew of individuals from the slums, each with their own unique skills and strengths. Together, they formed a ragtag resistance, determined to fight against the Hoshino family's tyranny and reclaim the world for its rightful owners. As Kaito and his companions delved deeper into the heart of the Hoshino family's stronghold, they began to uncover the dark secrets behind the virus and the family's mind control techniques. They discovered that the virus was not just a simple suppressant, but a complex tool that altered the very fabric of human consciousness. They learned that the Hoshino family had been using the virus to erase memories of humanity's past, to make people forget that they had once possessed extraordinary abilities. The more they learned, the more they realized that their fight was not just against the Hoshino family, but against a system that had been designed to keep humanity in chains. They saw that the world was a prison, with the Hoshino family as the wardens, and that the only way to escape was to confront the truth and shatter the illusions that had been cast over the world. With this knowledge, Kaito and his companions steeled themselves for the ultimate battle. They would fight to free humanity from the Hoshino family's grasp, to restore the memories of the past, and to reclaim the powers that had been lost. The war for the future had begun, and the fate of humanity hung in the balance. Would Kaito and his companions be able to overcome the Hoshino family's formidable power, or would the world remain forever trapped in a cycle of oppression and control? Only time would tell.

In a world ravaged by a mysterious meteor and its corrupting aftermath, humanity clings to life in Vetheris City, the last stronghold on Earth.

As a masked hitman, he navigates the murky underworld of Vetheris, executing ruthless jobs for those who can afford his services. But as the city teeters on the brink of destruction, Sirius's dual life begins to unravel, forcing him to confront the true nature of the chaos that plagues both the city and his own past.

The Unyielding Blade of Drakar Vorn In a world fractured by ancient calamity, where celestial titans once reigned and the Veil separating realms has begun to unravel, an orc warrior’s destiny will reshape the fate of nations. Born into a brutal world where strength determines survival, Drakar Vorn rises not from privilege, but from hardship. When a mysterious artifact known as the Veil Compass binds his fate to an ancient stronghold—the legendary Eryndral’s Bastion—Drakar is thrust into a trial of cosmic significance. Alongside his loyal companions—Taronis, a stoic swordsman haunted by his past, and Kaelen, a sharp-tongued elven archer—Drakar must endure trials that test not only his strength but his soul. In the heart of forgotten ruins and beneath a shattered sky, they face spectral warriors, starforged guardians, and the echoes of a world undone by ambition and fear. But Drakar’s journey is more than a fight for survival.
